What do you know about recycling? 15 min Song: Blue Lyrics on overhead: teach students song, box 20 min Realia Using blue box, bags (yellow and blue), and realia, introduce vocabulary and discuss what materials can be recycled. Elicit names of each item (e.g. bottles, jars, containers etc.) and what material it is made of (plastic, glass). Introduce language made of - the desk is made of wood, the book is made of paper. Practice pronunciation: aluminum, plastic Go through the realia again, ask students what you need to do before putting them in the box or bag. As they listen, they fill in to do workpage. Plastics: wash, look for the number (introduce recycle symbol with number), separate bottle from cap, leave labels on, flatten milk jugs Glass: wash, can leave paper labels on, sort by colour, discard lids, only container glass, not drinking glasses or window glass Aluminum: wash, take off the labels, return beverage cans to store or recycling centre for refund, put other cans in blue box Newspaper: make sure there are no rubber Garbage and Recycling Song Page 1

4 bands, staples, or plastic bags in the newspapers, put in blue bag Cardboard: squash boxes, separate from newsprint, don t recycle dirty boxes, remove tape, put in yellow bag Other paper: check for staples (demonstrate by stapling some papers and say OK? No, not OK. And remove the staple); can put in magazines, notepaper, phone books, paperboard (cereal boxes) etc. 20 min Activity 1 Sorting game Brainstorm ideas for reusing things at home: e.g. yogurt container to store leftover soup in the fridge, glass jars to store buttons or spices, etc. Using cards with pictures and words, students work in pairs to sort recyclables into blue boxes and bags (made with folded cardstock), checking numbers etc.; non-recyclables go into garbage can. Students work in pairs. Each pair has a set of cards to sort into the box, bags and garbage can. Introduce language: Where does this bottle go? It goes in the blue box. Where do these jars go? They go. Check by drawing bags, box and can on the board and getting students to tell you where to put pictures (larger set). Check language by getting one student to ask the question and another to answer it. 15 min Activity 2 Matching activity What happens to this can?

Then they look at the reading together to try to answer the questions. Check answers with whole class. If possible, show some finished compost for students to see and smell. Find someone who. Buying recycled paper, etc. Practice the questions first: Do you buy recycled paper? Do you put newspapers in the blue bag? Do you have a compost bin? Etc. Students then go around the room and talk to other people and try to find someone who says yes to each one. To follow up, ask students for names for each of the questions. Make a chart on the board and do a rough survey to see which ideas are popular. Ask why someone has a composter, does she grow vegetables, etc. Game board to review vocabulary, concepts and actions 10 min Wrap up Answer questions, evaluations Updated info: milk jugs are OK to put in blue boxes; plastic doesn t need labels removed, but cans do Potential vocab issues: sort, separate Garbage and Recycling Song Page 1

13 Composting 1. You have a banana peel, an apple core, and the leafy tops of a bunch of carrots. What will you do with them? Will you throw them in the garbage? If you do, you will waste something very valuable. 2. Some parts of fruit and vegetables are not good to eat: the core, the peel, maybe the outside leaves of a head of lettuce. These are scraps food that we don t want to eat. What can you do with these scraps? You can put them in the compost. 3. Compost is full of the good things that a garden needs. You can use the scraps of fruit and vegetables that you might throw in the garbage. Put these together with the grass that you cut from your lawn, the old plants that you pulled out of your garden, some air and some water. Together these things will make a dark brown stuff that smells like earth. This is compost. 4. You can make compost in your backyard. Put vegetable scraps, grass and leaves in a pile on the ground and wait for it to turn into compost. Or put them in a box or container. In a container (we call it a compost bin), the scraps will change into compost more quickly. If the weather is warm, you will have compost in about three months. If it s cold, it will take longer. 5. When it s ready, you can put the compost on your garden. Your flowers and vegetables will grow better. Or you can put it on your grass, and the grass will be greener and more beautiful. Some people think that a banana peel is garbage, but it s really very valuable. Garbage and Recycling Activity 3 Reading Page 1
